These Renegade space marines were founded when ultramarines form the 8th company where lost in a void storm in the battle of calth where there engines were shot dead Leaving them helplessly adrift in the Warp.
While in the Warp the brave ultramarines took high casualties and loses.
But through ingernerity and insane almost heretic ideas they made it.
Dead crew members were made into servo skulls to surve and maintain the ship as numbers fell so low.
The skin of void demons crafted into sails to push the crueser through the inmartirium.
Near dying men left to fight by their last breath alone.
Even going as far as scrapping parts of machinery to repair their own equipment.
But in the end the void spat them out bent, broken but still holding on. The time in the void couldn't be measured nor known but as they came out they were changed. Carrying the taint of chaos, the skin of some bleached white and eyes blackened, hair grayed, gene seed changed by this taint.
The body's of some are slowly and painfully turning from flesh to bone by the taint.
The taint also leaves Mentle levels unstable but those left bearly sane knew they couldn't go back to the imperium.
standing at nearly operating numbers, there love and loyalty to the holy emperor kept them standing.
They took a new vow. To travel the Warp looking for the lost children of the emperor to guide them back to his embrace. As to stop them from suffering there fate as well.
Taking the name. The children of the void.
Taking this duty did not come easy as the dangers of the warp take their toll on there already small numbers and refusal to use there tainted gene seeds they can only rebuild numbers viva taking on fellow lost astarties willing to join them that they may find lost in the warp.
Willing to take any lost or dyeing member of the imperium as long as they haven't fallen to a chaos god, there numbers stay somewhat stable to be called a company. Maybe one day even a chapter.
Possible to fall to a chaos god, easily by result of the taint. They undergo a secret rite. To lessen the chance.
The great actseptice.
A rite of passage the children of the void take where they promise themselves to traveling the warp storms to wherever the importer may want them.
Giving up there soal.
They accept they are dead from now on and may never be with the imperium again from now on.
They recite this oth.
"Born to the emperor. Die to him.
Found by his children. Die to them.
Live for the empire. Die to it.
I surrender the only things I own.
My name, history, sole and life.
I who was lost am now found.
I am dead. I am gone. I am lost.
Take me my emperor.
Let my lost hand be guided by our hand"
A Chaplin takes them away into a room where he has them mind wiped and forid there history, they than take a new name from one of the fallen children and a servo skull will now be linked with them till they join there numbers of the fallen. They are then killed by lethal injection that stops all their hearts and then there resuscitated back. There now a child of the void.
Civilians and servicemen they save are also given the choice of services or rescue. As serf or there taken to the next safest planet.
Where ever it is.
After years of blindly traveling the warp and believing where they come out is where the dead emperor sent them. Sometimes coming out over planets at war and risking everything believing the emperor wanted them to join in.
They started repeatedly coming to the same planet, libecca V.
No bigger than holly Mars and stuck in a tidal lock orbit. The world is divided in two halfs. A sun scorched dead desert one side, the other a frozen wasteland of ice and snow.
The rim between these is a easily livable zone. Stuck in enteral sunset as the nature of the planet. It could be a paradise world if it wasn't for the 80 mph winds covering the planet and rapid void threat.
Before it was found by the children, the macanicis took it as there's. Building a industrial city underneath the rim till they came across a necron tomb.
In the frozen icelands the aldire made a giant library till they all dead off by the Necrons below.
The planet surface is covered in a black metallic sand perfect for crafting.
When the children came to this strange new world the first time they took report of the xeno life and took back to the void to only return after ever venture.
They took it as a sign of the emperor that this must be there's. So they took hold in the library and begone a slow war to fight the Necrons.
Soon the natives herd of the children and some went off to join them. Calling themselves the followers of the void.
Together the fought through the tomb world and ended the necron threat.
Now they continue the duty of venturing the void and returning to libecca V to resupply and prepare for the next trip. Ther followers acting alongside them.
Soon the inquisition herd romers of these Renegades taking and using imperium tech and rescuing people lost in the warp. So they sent them agents to check and follow the children of the void.
After a long search they finally met a team of them in burnt out space ship that just fell out the warp. The children in there non matching uniforms and the inquisition had a long talk. The children of the void team were deemed heretics and corrupted. hunted down by the gray knights and fought to the last man the team never got to relay the message to the rest of their battle brothers, the gray knight team took their servo skulls to gain intel on any bases or hideouts they may have out there.
If a member did fall. He'd be executed in a holly ceremony in the great Hall. In front of a tomb called the sleeping captain by the company champion. but there skulls won't be a servo. But instead ground down to a powder and cast into space.
The children of the void continue their self imposed mission without any idea the gray knights are looking for them. Still growing in all directions as for every man they lose they gain they gain a new number to the ever growing swarm of servo skulls maning there strike cruiser “the lost hand” as they continue to do their duty.
Most recently the children are stuck defending libecca V and her people in a three way war with the orks and death guard.
